I never heard this version of the song. Its real good and very very close to the version that Kennywood uses to close the park with. Its the same people, Alvino Rey and Yvonne King, just a slightly different recording.
@kpdave : I have both the 1941 & 1946 versions, slight difference, but you'll notice the difference if you grew up hearing the one and not the other. Never been to Kennywood, sounds like a place I'd like to go to.
Thanks for the song. Grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Kennywood at least a few times a year. Moved away since but was back up there recently. Good to see they still play this song at closing. Good times and great memories as always...
This take me way back! Just like @mikepcap said, but for me it's Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, PA. I worked there when I was a teenager and not only was this how the park closed every night, but it also meant I was done and could go home for the day after a long day of work! lol
Thank you sooo much for posting this. I have been trying to locate this recording for over 25 years. It used to be used to close a radio show in the Pittsburgh, PA area in the early 80's that I listened to each night & ! knew it was time to get off work at midnight when this song came on. But, I never found out who recorded it before moving away. Suddenly decided to use the internet to track it down tonight. I'm only so sad she ironically passed away just weeks before I finally found it. Thank U
Thanks so much for posting this lovely remembrance of Yvonne King. I remember hearing her sing this on the King Family's TV show in the 1960s. Sweet lady...sweet voice. We'll all miss ya' Vonnie. Nighty night!
God I love this song! Came out 15-17 years before I was born, but who cares. Music from my generation was so negative
